Lu Tingxiu asked Wei Ge to escort Old Man Tu home.

The government office quieted down, and Lu Tingxiu realized that he had been starved twice.

Xia Fatpang ate and drank well in prison, and no one cared about him alive or dead.

After drinking a glass of water to satisfy his hunger, Lu Tingxiu sank down, and there were only a pitiful number of clues, and he analyzed the case again and again......

Before I knew it, it was late at night, and the Hu family clan, which had been making trouble for a day, had temporarily stopped.

Xu Mingliang broke his leg outside, and bought two catties of braised beef and half a jar of wine by the way.

The two talked while eating, Xu Mingliang took a sip of wine, and the whole person came back to life, "My lord, according to your instructions, I have checked all Hu Donglai's wives and concubines and children."

Hu Donglai was poor and white in his early years, and he made his fortune by relying on the support of Yang's mother's family.

Yang's early years were also very powerful, and Hu Donglai had a stinky problem of stealing food, and the two of them were not unhappy, which can be described as incompatible.

Later, bad news happened in his mother's family, his father and mother passed away one after another, Yang's temperament suddenly changed, and he devoted himself to eating fast and reciting Buddha, and Hu Donglai was like a wild horse out of the territory, and he kept marrying at home.

Hu Donglai has six sons and thirteen daughters under his name, the eldest son and the second son are all born to the Yang family, honest and unspoken, and his talent for doing business is also very average, so Hu Donglai doesn't like it.

The other sons are still young, ranging from a few years old to fifteen years old, the second third son and the second fifth son are very smart, all of them were born to an aunt who married back from Goolan Yuan in the early years, and they learned a full temperament of flattery, and they were very popular with Hu Donglai. ”

Xu Mingliang was eating meat, "There are many women in the family, and all kinds of jealousy and secret battles are staged every day, although the Yang family doesn't care about things, but Mrs. Hu is a powerful person, and she regulates those aunts for her daughter-in-law."

After Hu Donglai's death, Mrs. Hu couldn't afford to fall ill, and the Yang family had no choice but to come out to preside over the overall situation. I heard behind my back that these tricks made by the Yang family today were all supported by Mrs. Hu behind her back. ”

The hearts of the people are separated from the belly, and the population of the Hu family is complex, so it is not possible to investigate it all at once.

Lu Tingxiu asked: "Hu Donglai died, who benefited the most?" ”

Xu Mingliang didn't even think about it, "It should be the Yang family or her eldest son." "No matter how powerful Mrs. Hu is, it is impossible to harm her son.

He paused and said suspiciously: "However, the Yang family is married to the Hu family, no matter how mediocre the eldest son is, after a hundred years of his father, he can inherit the family property justifiably, is it necessary to take this risk?" ”

"Hu Donglai is only forty-seven this year, and it will be at least another one or two decades before he will hand over the family business to his son. At that time, the second third son and the second fifth son he likes have grown up, who dares to guarantee that the family business will be inherited by the son of the Yang family? ”

Xu Mingliang hesitated: "The Hu family is loyal and honest, although he is in his twenties, he is not an assertive person, he is the kind of person who takes two steps with a whip, and his subordinates feel that he does not have that kind of scheming and means." ”

Lu Tingxiu raised his eyebrows slightly, "What about the Yang family?" ”

Referring to the Yang family, Xu Mingliang paused for a while before saying: "Except for those aunts, the Hu family goes up to Mrs. Hu, down to the girls, etc., and there is no one who does not say that the Yang family is good." Her subordinates questioned her about the case, and she answered questions properly and thought clearly, but she ...... I always felt that something was wrong, but I couldn't fault her. ”

Lu Tingxiu said in one word, "Hu Donglai's death, she was too sad and too sober. ”

Xu Mingliang slapped his head suddenly.

A person who has been in a cold war with her husband for more than ten years is like a day, and the relationship between husband and wife must be very cold, but what she presents to outsiders is heartbroken.

Assuming that she really loves Hu Donglai deeply, but she can't forgive him for his absurdity, this is also reasonable. She is painless and uncontrollable, and even in a trance, why does she recall the past so clearly and without leakage?

If she is a murderer, since she has endured it for more than ten years, why can't she bear it anymore suddenly?

"You check the Yang family again, including the subordinates who are close to her, who they usually come into contact with. In addition, Hu Donglai has already dissected the matter, don't mention it to the Hu family for the time being, just say that we have found new clues. Lu Tingxiu paused, and continued to instruct: "The green jaw can't let go, continue to send people to keep an eye on it." ”

After pondering for a long time, Lu Tingxiu said again: "Have you eaten Xia Chubby?" ”

"I've eaten it a long time ago, I specially asked someone to call it from Tianbaolou, three dishes and one soup, wine and meat. I just sent another supper. ”

A suspect has a much better life than the magistrate.

Lu Tingxiu was faintly worried, "Is there anything unusual about her?" ”

"There is nothing suspicious except refusing to see anyone, eating and sleeping." Xu Mingliang continued to drink wine and eat meat, "My lord, when will Sister Xia come out?" I'm afraid that after a long time, she has an opinion about you. ”

Xia Fatpang's opinion of him, is there still less?

Lu Tingxiu's heart is stuffed, let's close it first.

The braised beef was too spicy, and drinking spirits on an empty stomach, Lu Tingxiu's stomach hurt so much that he stood in the courtyard with a coat and cooled.

Somehow, I went to prison.

How dare the jailer stop it, Sister Xia can see it even if she doesn't see it, she let her go happily without saying a word, and opens the cell door considerately.

As soon as Lu Tingxiu came, Xia Qiu would know.

After a day in prison, she had become accustomed to smelling the smell of those prisoners. Now that something is different, how can you not notice it.

Walking into the prison, Lu Tingxiu sat down directly at the table, his stomach twitched so badly, he endured it all the time, and did not disturb her who slept with her back to him.

She really won't wronged herself anywhere, and she is quite comfortable in prison.

Lu Tingxiu was thinking that if she wasn't Xia Chubby, she should be put in the interrogation room at this time and indulge in the love of various torture instruments.

Well, he's still showing favoritism.

Xia Qiu didn't want to deal with it, but his hearing was too sensitive and troublesome, and the sound of his forced pain was heard clearly by her.

It's been a long time to see, which official is as delicate and frail as him.

Xia Qiu rolled over and sat down next to him, "Put your feet up." ”

Lu Tingxiu obediently lifted his feet and put them on the bench.

Xia Qiu groped on his leg for a while, and then pressed it down hard.

"Hiss......" Lu Tingxiu looked pained, gritted his teeth and endured it.

"The young master of the capital has a delicate stomach, and he can't stand the spoils of spirits, so you can drink less in the future." While rubbing his feet for him, he didn't forget to ridicule.

In a moment, the stomach cramps really magically stopped.

Then, the other foot was sent to her.

"It's not a stomach problem, it's a long-term mental tension that causes stomach cramps."

has no conscience, Lu Tingxiu secretly slandered himself, and he didn't want to think about who made him nervous for a long time. Is it so hard for her to tell the truth?

After a day of detention, Xia Qiu was depressed, but his spirit was still stable.

The stomach didn't hurt anymore, Lu Tingxiu withdrew his foot, "Hu Donglai was not killed by the candlestick, but most likely died of poisoning." ”

The surprise in Xia Qiu's eyes flashed, and he quickly returned to indifference, but he was still caught by the sharp-eyed him.

Even so, she refused to say.

The more she didn't say it, the more Lu Tingxiu cared.
